School counselor

Evidence-based practice has become a common expression in the helping
professions over the last decade. Beginning with medicine and moving to
fi elds such as psychology and social work, the number of books on evidencebased
practice has grown signifi cantly. What makes this book different? This

in the 1960s, the courtroom witness was treated with respect and

Those students who are admitted to the CSU and have not demonstrated proficiency in English
or math in their senior year of high school take the English Placement Test (EPT) and the Entry
Level Math Test (ELM) as a way of ensuring they are placed in the appropriate classes upon

guide and support first time freshman in attaining college level proficiency.

This can be a career change, personal change, such as gaining or losing weight, quitting smoking
or changing a relationship dynamic, along with a myriad of other situations.
As a result of my work in the school as a part time counselor, I was able to secure contracts at
other schools for part-time work. I developed numerous PowerPoint presentations on a range of
issues such as anti-bullying programs, substance abuse prevention programs, and peer counseling
programs and now offer these workshops to other schools, as well as consult on a variety of
mental health issues.
